Use the automatic updater if you can (check experimental updates in other settings) or download full installation at http://www.factorio.com/download/experimental.

You guys are awesome!

Nice update. Those PvP additions are very welcome.

And that is post number 128 of the Factorio Bot. Good job, you are halfway there.

PvP Love <3

I should really give PvP a try... Thanks for the bug fixes!

it sucks!
5 years have passed and nothing has changed
every time I play this game
I have a feeling that I'm playing tutorial, again and again
I do not see any reason
no meaning in this game
why should I build and launch a rocket
only to get research points


the game became boring
maybe you do not know what to do next
or players do not know what they want
there are no global ideas

This build just fixed ANY performance problems with Bots.
90% of all Bots are on strike now!
Full 60fps now

A couple of my best friends have 500+ hours played in Factorio and are far from being bored here.
Well, maybe this just isn‘t the right game for you - try out the witcher, wow, or any other quest-driven game.

Oh hell no, WoW-players don't need this kind of gamers either.

@Jetronium: Please go play farmville or something like that.

thx.

Correct, there is none. It is a sandbox game, like minecraft. You need to create your own goals or you will get bored.

What those goals should be depends on what you enjoy, e.g.

• Have you tried spaghetti, a main bus, a towns design (specialized production connected by trains), have you tried a ribbonworld?
• If you enjoy building but not designing then try speed-running or a PvP production race.
• If you enjoy designing then create constraints (I am playing with the constraint "minimize storage on belts", a JIT constraint)
• Play with mods. E.g. try sea block.
• Etc..

That said, more official or community made scenarios would be nice.

That was the plan. How u increase the performance ? Demolish game features they need performance. Problem solved.

Sometimes i ask myself: "How can it be, that the developer don't noticed such errors ?" Doesn't they test her releases ?

Answer for you :
Experimental != stable

Good work, but where is buff for barrels?

In the second and third tank of the fluid wagon.

U misunderstand this words! A stable release can have also bugs in it. That is not the point. The point is, that this is a obviously error and the word "experimental" isn't an apology for this error. I am not talking about simple hidden errors!

For you it's not hidden, for them maybe.
For me on this version, bots just delivered what i want just when i entered roboport area (via buffer chest). But 15 minutes before, it didn't work. So it depend of the situation.
Anyway, I think you are not a developper yourself to say that (because if you where, you would know that you can't always test everycases).
And there, you can add some sort of corruption added by intermediates bugged patchs. So i don't think it's easy as you think.

Automating the releases really seems to have paid off. At first I was a bit sceptical but now I'm convinced!

Strange quote coming from a factorio player. I would expect the benefit of automation to be instantly obvious
